Brow tattoo

Any of you ladies know if we are allowed to have microblading semi permanent brow tattoo? I read somewhere that when on drugs it is not allowed?

Hi Kelly

I'm sorry but it is defiinitely not recommemded if you are on anti-coagulants because of bleeding risk and also because bleeding evidently dilutes and affects the dye in some way.

I looked into it a while ago and because I am on warfarin it was contra-indicated

Sorry - I stick to my trusty old eye brow pencils !

Love Dianne

I am thinking of having a go at it. I will stop the aspirin for some days to do it. I had a cleaning at the dentist having forgotten to stop it and nothing happened. I think once in Hydroxyurea it is not allowed? So it will be just for once. I decided to have all the things that will probably not be allowed once on the drug. So tomorrow I have an appointment for keratin treatment:) Like a convict enjoying his last days of freedom:(

Hi Kelly, you should check this with your consultant or specialist nurse, especially if you are going to stop taking your aspirin. Maz

Hi Maz, I have already checked, no problem to stop it for a few days to do dentist job or surgeries etc. I am not sure about the pigments in tattoos. The woman who does it does not accept cancer patients or in blood thinners.

Hi Kelly

Hey I had my eye brows Tattooed about a year ago! They looked really great! Still do. You could hardly see my brows, had to use a pencil daily! The only problem was my brows kept bleeding because of the aspirin I am taking daily. But in saying that they still look great and are a lot darker than they were. Next time I might stop my aspirin for a few days before. All the best Lyn x

Hi Kelly,

I have been on aspirin for many year and have had several tatoos. although not brow, in that time, never stopped the aspirin had no problems. I am now on Hydroxy as well and had my great grand sons name tattooed on my foot with not problems. Must admit did not ask heamo if it was advisable.

Good luck

Hi

Just came back from my keratin treatment. So as long as it does not contain formaldehyde there is no problem for us. Now about the brows, she says she does not do it to people with cancer or who take blood thinners. Could Maz ask on behalf of us women? I think it is very important as it is a life saver to get rid of the brow pencil!

Hi there,

well, I have asked my doctors and they said it was fine...and I have had semi permanent make up since 1992.... No problems occured, what so ever (I refill about every 18 months-ish).

I have been on Warfarin ( I had a refill meanwhile) and now on Clopidogrel, Hydrea, Propranolol and Omeprazole.

So, talk to your doctor.

What fantastic news! I will also ask. But that’s what she told me about customers with cancer. Thank you!

Others in here also do not agree with it.
